Hi, is dma packaged by someone? That would be the first step and I would happily test that thing (having postfix installed after Paul Frields advice which works well).

Hi all, With the recent discussion about removing sendmail from the base install, has anyone taken a look at DMA? It appears to be designed with exactly the same purpose in mind -- removing the dependency on a desktop-oriented install on sendmail or postfix, while still allowing cron et. al. to function fully. Perhaps not for F-12, but if we start looking at it now, it might be well-tested enough to be considered for the next (or second next) release afterwards. -- Michel, wondering what F-12+1 will be numbered as! Sent to you by Michel S. via Google Reader: DMA updates via DragonFly BSD Digest by Justin Sherrill on 8/29/09 DMA, the DragonFly Mail Agent, has been updated so that it can deliver email from cron job output. DMA is a former Summer of Code project to make a local-only mailer for DragonFly systems, so that larger mail transfer agents (like Sendmail or Postfix) are not needed on a system that isn’t designed to receive mail from external sources. There’s a TODO list (click the gitweb link) if you’d like to contribute.
